In-Ring: Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre

Randy Orton makes his way to the ring. We see footage of him pinning WWE Champion Drew McIntyre last week on Raw in a 6-Man Tag Team Match. McIntyre will defend the title against Orton inside of Hell in a Cell.

No matter what happens tonight in the WWE Draft, he is taking the WWE Championship from McIntyre. 2020 has been one hell of a year, but it has been the year of Drew McIntyre. You cannot dispute that. McIntyre not only main evented WrestleMania and beat Brock Lesnar, but he become the WWE Champion. McIntyre became the main face of WWE. Orton didn’t learn this until a few days ago, when he beat McIntyre last week with an RKO he hadn’t been pinned in almost an entire year.

Orton looks into the camera and is talking to McIntyre. In less than two weeks at Hell in a Cell, he’s going to pin him yet again, end his legacy, and take the WWE Championship from him. He’ll do that by hitting him with the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment: R-K-O…

WWE Champion Drew McIntyre’s music hits, and he comes out to the stage. McIntyre says he has to congratulate Orton. Orton is correct. Orton is the first person to pin him in almost a year. Orton picked his spot and hit him with an RKO out of nowhere. McIntyre expected that. What he didn’t expect was Orton gloating instead of kicking him in the head. That’s where Orton messed up because he got back up. When he kicked Orton in the skull at Clash of Champions, that was for everybody he ever screwed over. At Hell in a Cell, all the pain and suffering he causes Orton will be for him.

McIntyre realizes Orton might get drafted tonight, but he has a promise. Everytime they’re in the same building together, he’s going to kick the crap out of Orton. McIntyre doesn’t want to break his promise. McIntyre gets in the ring, and they start brawling. McIntyre punches and kicks him to the corner. Orton kicks him and tries to fight back, but McIntyre overwhelms him. Orton quickly gets out of the ring to recover. Orton spears him into the apron as McIntyre gets out of the ring. McIntyre fights back and sends him into the barricade and ring post. McIntyre bounces him on the apron before giving Orton a back suplex on the commentary table. McIntyre gets him in the ring for a Claymore Kick, but Orton immediately rolls out and retreats up the ramp.

In-Ring: The Miz, John Morrison, Mandy Rose, Dana Brooke, Natalya, Lana

The Miz and John Morrison are in the ring. They talk about being the newest stars on Raw and introduce themselves with their nicknames. They make fun of the broken up tag teams like The New Day and Heavy Machinery. The Miz insinuates that he’s responsible for Heavy Machinery breaking up because of his connections with the USA Network. He then introduces Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke.

Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke make their way to the ring. Miz says he doesn’t want to make this show all about them thanking him for this opportunity. Mandy says moving her to Raw was petty and done to punish Otis. The Miz is ruining people’s lives. Miz says she has new music and a new partner. She’s happy. She’s winning. Mandy should be thanking Miz. Mandy says she’d rather slap him in the face.

Miz asks Dana Brooke if she really wants to be friends with Mandy. Mandy was friends with Sonya Deville for years before kicking her to the curb for Otis. Dana says there is no jealousy here like there was with Sonya. The Miz mentions they’re in a dual-branded battle royal where only one woman will face Asuka for the Raw Women’s Title. That’s gotta be awkward. Mandy says the only thing that’s awkward is being on the same brand as The Miz. As far as the battle royal is concerned, may the best woman win.

Natalya and Lana come out to the ring. Lana is confused as to why Miz and Morrison are interviewing these two blondes when she has the winningest and best of all time (#BOAT) Natalya. If you want drama, Lana is the one to talk to. She’s the one with two ex-husbands and an ex-girlfriend. Natalya says they’re in the battle royal and no one wanted to interview them. This could be their last night on Raw. Dana says they should do a TikTok dance. Mandy says if they did less TikTok and more training, maybe Lana could win a match.

All four women start brawling. Mandy quickly knocks Lana out of the ring. Dana beats Natalya out of the ring.

In-Ring: The Miz, John Morrison, Lars Sullivan

In-Ring: Seth Rollins, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles

Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring. Rollins says he wants to soak it all in because this is the end of an era. While he takes his talents to Friday nights, he wonders how difficult it must be for the fans of Monday Night Raw. This is his final night as a member of the Raw roster. They’re losing a lot. They’re losing a champion that has slayed beasts and conquered monsters. They’re losing the purveyor of the greater good. Most glaringly, they’re losing the greatest leader in the history of Monday Night Raw.

Is there anyone that can fill his shoes and fill the void he’s leaving behind? No. Who will step up and fill his shoes? It won’t be Dominik or Rey Mysterio. Unfortunately, they have also been drafted to SmackDown. While this is a sad, sad moment for the people at home, he doesn’t want to end his run as the greatest leader in the history…

Jeff Hardy’s music cuts him off, and Raw’s newest wrestler comes out to the ring. Rollins says he was looking for a leader. Hardy is not that, so he can get out of his ring. Hardy says he’s on Raw so this is technically his ring. Rollins says Hardy should be worried about facing “The Freak” Lars Sullivan on SmackDown.

Rollins goes to leave, but AJ Styles’ music hits. Styles walks out and asks if Hardy stumbled down to the ring. Styles fists bumps Rollins and tells him to get to the back since this was never Monday Night Rollins anyway. Styles focuses on Hardy, but Rollins cuts him off and confronts him. They argue at ringside until Hardy hits them with a baseball slide. Hardy jumps off Styles’ back and hits Poetry in Motion on Rollins. Hardy then hits Styles with a diving clothesline off the apron.
